Welcome Christmas & the 10 min Stampaholic Colour Challenge

Stampin Up Welcome Christmas along with a NEW RIBBON Wreath!

good day y'all!

so today is our 10 min Stampaholic Colour Challenge

it was my week to come up with a colour challenge!

so here is what I did!

 

here is our colour challenge for today

I chose  to go with Wild Wasabi for my extra colour

okay I have to tell you that it's taken me 3 1/2 hour to finish this card

he he

well a CARD anyways - here's what happened - my card once I actually decided it took me 18 min

 

my original thougth was to go with this stamp set

Welcome Christmas

 

this is just not going to work I am going to try something different

and then I found the jackpot

this lovely lady on Splitcoast had an amazing ribbon wreath posted

click here to get to the video on how I did it! 

so I went in that direction

mind you I did lot's of mind changing along the way so more time chewed up!

 

look at the time now

 

okay so now I have tried alot of different types of ribbons

then I thought okay let's go with this ribbon

 

now I coloured this one with Poppy Parade

 

this is what I ended up with in 8 min 2 seconds

now I used another ribbon and used my marker "Wild Wasabi"

 

this is going to be for my bow 

I will attach to my wreath

 

I just have to show you my mess

I have to clean this up before I can mount this wreath

holly cow

now onto the stamp set that I actually was going to use LOL

 

I used my stampin write markers AGAIN

 

looks great

I am out of time so I am going to start my timer again

I want to cut this out

 

I have cut out and put brads in

I also used my big shot and gave my white cardstock some texture

 

then I rounded the corners 

 

ouh and pretty little pearls

 
 
and I am done

I know a far cry from 10 min

but yha I know I am working hard at make simple cards

well as you can tell

3 1/2 hours hard LOL

good golly what a goof I am he he

 

so here is my card

hope you like it!

Beautiful . . . absolutely gorgeous! I guess I'm behind the times, but where do I find the tutorial for this beautiful ribbon wreath. I am completely enthralled!

[Jennifer Blomquist]

Cool card but I love how you showed how you colored the ribbon. I had done coloring the whole thing but never thought of just doing the center. It looks awesome and not too hard to do. Thanks so much for sharing!

[Lesley Croghan]

Wonderful idea for the wreath. Very interesting color combination. We might all use this for the holidays this year, huh?

Your ribbon wreath is awesome! It looks so good against that embossed background.

Wow, your ribbon wreath is beautiful. I'm going to have to check out the tutorial for that. Thanks for sharing your stunning card.

[Janet Swofford]

Gorgeous card,my sweet Alberta friend! I love that wreath and enjoyed seeing the tutorial for it. You crack me up with your "simple cards"! Your definition of simple is vastly different than us mere mortals:-)But I'm so glad because I get to see what your genius creative brain thinks up! Thanks so much for sharing your genius with me:-D
Inky hugs,
Janet

[Brenda Blum]

I love the ribbon wreath especially on the embossed background. Well worth extra effort. The next one won't take so long. Thanks so much for sharing the instructions.

[Kim S.]

OK...that's way out of my league and time frame! God Blessed you with my patience, my friend! This is one card I love but will not attempt to try! I'd probably use the entire spool of ribbon ;)!!!! Have a beautiful day, momma!
